Presentation and discussion about Indigenous Heritage and Ecological Conservation in the Salish Sea

February 16, 7:00-8:30pm

In the Salish Sea, a range of development pressures threaten the deep connections to place and the ecosystems that sustain them. In this free webinar, our five panelists will guide discussions about the potential for on-the-ground actions and higher level policy initiatives that lead to the protection of valued ecosystems and at the same time honour Indigenous connections to the land.
